Now Do Yall Believe My Sorenson Coked Up Story? ...

[fjblair]

He caught a pass over THE Josh Norman in OTA's? WOW! 

 

Feel better now?

[fjblair]

First, let me say this:  I hated the Armanti pick.  It put me on suicide watch. 

 

Suggestion:  If we draft a player after the second round, quit expecting instant results.  Gettlemen drafted for 2013 on day 1 and 2, but day 3 was all about 2014 and beyond.  Support the developmental players.  This is his season to show he made the transition. 

 

What I do not understand is this:  Some people call themselves Panther fans and bash the young developing players as if they know something about football.  We have had players who we brought along slowly and they developed into starters:  Hardy (6th round), Johnson (3rd round),  Anderson (3rd round), Munnerlyn (7th round), Hangartner (5th round), for example. 

 

What Panther fan does not want a WR to step up?  Then how in the hell can you bash a young player for making a catch at practice?  What if he has finally made the transition to WR and is ready to beast? 

 

And another "expert" bashed Norman.  Yes, he struggled last year.  Let's see.... a fifth round rookie from a small school playing against Brandon Marshall, Julio Jones, Vincent Jackson, and Hakeem Nicks.  What the hell did you expect?  Give the kid a chance to learn.  He was set up to fail, and he did.  How clever of some of you to notice.

 

I just do not get how you buy jerseys and tickets and foam fingers and join Panther boards and do nothing but trash the team's young talent. 

 

This is the only fan base in professional sports that so gleefully root against individual players on "their" team.

It might just be me, but I feel like Armanti is our version of Teebow (trying to avoid word replace, lol). "Just put him in, all his does is win".

Totally. During the midst of the Teebow controversy we had an Armant hate thread and I made the same observation.

A compelling player with talent, but not NFL talent, but talent nonetheless, a great likeable guy, great work ethic, college superstar.

Yet extremely devicice. Half the folks love him for what he did in the past, half the folks hate him because he doesn't belong where he is.

Our very own small market Teebow. We should be proud......or ashamed.

What the many of those here dont get is that great wideouts, or players in general, arent born. . .  theyre made.

 

Of course its possible that Armanti turns out to be a player, its also some percentage that he will fail. People are so quick to say "welp, he's got about a 2% chance" when its more like 20 or 30 or possibly much higher. He's already at the show, anything can happen now if he's working and preparing himself everyday. . . anything. I hate mentioning it because Im mildly superstitious but injuries, random off field incidents, family problems can shift the order of our line up just as much as players performance on field.

except one doesn't hardly speak and the other one can't keep his mouth shut.

lol 20 or 30%

Didn't realize that armanti still had believers. He's an offseason playmaker just like Colbert was. The guy is not NFL material. Maybe he can carve out a nice career in arena football or the CFL. He should drop out of the big leagues while he's still young

The thing that sours me on Armanti is that Hurney traded up to get him, but probably didn't have to.  I know that isn't Edwards fault, but still it irritates me that we gave up future picks for a guy who hasn't produced yet.  Plus when he started out as a punt returner, he was mediocre at best.

lets just say his little picture gives him way more justice than you would see in person... also it doesnt show the white powder all over his nose that i saw at the bar when he was absent minded.

 

[csx]

He looks pretty frazzled and raggedy in person. Almost as if he's going for a tinge of the fuged up writer thing.

[frash.exe]

The whole Sorensen coke thing is a great opportunity for some good punch lines on here but I'm missing my "cocaine euphemisms you can connect to football-related memes" handbook and I don't really find Sorensen terribly significant

[ElkinPanthersFan]

No, because Zod told us this a month ago.. It is not a shock to anyone here.

 

 

[carolina-chuck]

I can imagine that right now.
